Here’s why it’s essential to understand your rights as a homeowner ⬇️. Your builder is legally required to provide a staged payments schedule. As the build progresses, no payment can be released to your builder until the previous stage of works has been inspected and passed by an independent building inspector who was chosen by you. No upfront payments can be requested, except for the initial deposit. This is just one of the many ways you can feel protected as a homeowner. A reputable builder should be upfront with your rights and can easily articulate it on paper if necessary.
